This talk covers an overview of different levels/types of software testing but specifically looking at the value they provide to software developers and others maintaining software. We use this information to challenge some conventional thinking and re-balance how confidence in our software applications is gained without harming their ongoing maintenance.

However, recent improvements in cloud computing and browser capabilities make it possible to change the economics of …
This presentation shares the good and the bad experience in the journey of building a Test Automation framework for an AngularJS based application. You will learn, by a case study, what thought process we applied on the given context (product, team, skills, capabilities, long term vision) to come up with …
